The distance between threads of a screw is called the "pitch." Pitch is defined as the axial distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads, essentially measuring how far the screw advances with one complete turn. It is typically expressed in millimeters for metric screws and in threads per inch for imperial screws.
The distance between two threads in a screw is called the pitch. It is the measurement of how far the screw advances with one complete turn.
Screw Pitch is defined as the axial distance between threads. One complete revolution of the screw will move it into an object the distance of the pitch. The smaller the pitch, the greater the mechanical advantage (ability to do work) achieved.

the threads determine the depth the screw should move
The pitch is the axial distance between threads, and the distance the thread moves with a 360 degree revolution. So if the pitch of a screw is 1mm, one revolution will move it 1mm farther down.
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
It is called simply "threads per length" . In US it is threads per inch. It is the reciprocal of the pitch. For example a screw with 32 threads per inch has a pitch of 1/32 inch. The pitch is distance between threads
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
Coarse pitch refers to a larger distance between threads on a screw. It allows for faster movement of the nut along the screw shaft but may not provide as much precision as a finer pitch due to larger gaps between the threads.
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
The lead of a screw refers to the distance a screw advances in one complete turn. It is determined by the screw's pitch, which is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads. A screw with a larger lead will advance more with each turn compared to one with a smaller lead.
